I'm not lesbian, or straight, and 'bi' seems so limited of a classification. I don't believe in the typical gender labeling, and see people as the uniquely, beautifully crafted individuals they are.

I am an artist at heart. I enjoy admiring work by my favorite artists as well as staring at a blank canvas, marveling at the possibilities I could create with it. I have an intense passion for photography.

I enjoy pleasant conversations which lead to odd conversations. It is hard to offend me but not hard to make me laugh. Most people tend to think I am pretty swell.

I am in a poly relationship. I'm seeking friends first, as I still don't have many here in pdx. I strive for honesty, respect, and love in all my relationships.

I am amazing, creative, and intuitive

What I’m doing with my life

I am currently a full time student seeking a BS in organismal biology, while also dabbling in learning languages (know a little German) and learning how to sew.

Between being a full time student and also working part time to eat, I don't get much free time. I do love getting drinks in low key places or organizing game nights with friends when I can.

I’m really good at

Laughing at myself in even my worst of times. Back rubs. I like to paint and attempt to draw. I am really good at reading people. Because we all know people are in fact made of parchment and ink.

The first things people usually notice about me

I have glasses and a lip ring and look like I'm probably trying to avoid attention. This is made more difficult if I'm carrying around one of my antique cameras. Also my hair tends to turn purple for months at a time...

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

Books- anything and everything by Neil Gaiman- that man is a sexy British god of literature. Haruki Murakami, Douglas Adams, Vonnegut, Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, being some of my other favorites. I generally enjoy fiction, some non fiction (mostly science and oddities), psychology, and selective sci fi. I am a book NERD, and am usually reading 5 books at once.

movies- if it makes me think and touches me in a profound way, I will love it. Sometimes I go for flashy big budget comic book movies as well.

My music taste is ever evolving. I really like discovering music that is new to me, whether it is new to the masses or not.

I am one of those odd vegetarians that eats fish every now and then.

The six things I could never do without

Give me a monkey with a gun, and I will never lack for anything I might need.

(If you know what this is referencing, we will most likely be friends)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

life, the universe, and everything

Photography and what it means to me.

How to roll my R's.

On a typical Friday night I am

My Fridays are not Fridays, and I have a hard enough time going to bed at any decent hour as it is, so the day that is labeled as Friday on a calendar I will most likely be watching Colbert Report then promptly trying to pass out.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

I don't really have anything to hide. If you start asking me questions, I will most likely answer them.
